The Brief
Larrikin Interactive needed senior support across gameplay code, release work, and technical operations for Diets and Deities, a 2D rhythm cooking game for desktop. Jacques joined from January to May 2023 as a technical consultant and senior game developer, brought in to help cover the technical side of getting the game ready for release.
Our Approach
Jacques' contributions spanned four areas:
- Technical support: Fixing development blockers and helping the team keep the Unity project moving
- DevOps: Improving build and deployment workflows so releases were less dependent on manual steps
- Unity development: Implementing game features and optimising performance, especially important for a rhythm game where timing and responsiveness affect the play experience
- Steam deployment: Supporting the technical and procedural work needed to publish through Steam
For a small studio like Larrikin Interactive, this kind of role means acting as the technical backbone across development and release rather than being scoped to a single feature or system.
The Outcome
Diets and Deities shipped as a desktop rhythm cooking game on Steam, with XGameDev contributing Unity development, technical support, DevOps, and release assistance during the final production window.
